The Halmos unitary of a partial isometry, and the dilation of a positive operator valued measure #
Plain algebra in the ring of matrices over a star ring R, which
MIPRE/Foundations/CommutingDilation.lean reads with R the bounded operators on a Hilbert
space through MIPRE/Foundations/OperatorMatrix.lean.
- The Halmos unitary (
Halmos.extension). For a partial isometryw(w wᴴ w = w) inMatrix m m R, the block matrix[[w, 1 − w wᴴ], [1 − wᴴ w, wᴴ]]onm ⊕ mis unitary (conjTranspose_mul_extension,extension_mul_conjTranspose). It extendswwithout comparing the two defect projections1 − w wᴴand1 − wᴴ w; an extension ofwinsideMatrix m m Ritself would have to compare them, and in infinite dimension, inside the commutant of another family of operators, that comparison is Murray–von Neumann theory. - The Naimark matrix (
Halmos.naimark). For a Kraus familys : m → R,∑ a, s aᴴ s a = 1, the matrix whosea₀-th column issand whose other columns vanish is a partial isometry, withwᴴ wthe matrix unit at(a₀, a₀)(conjTranspose_naimark_mul_naimark',naimark_mul_conjTranspose_mul'); with self-adjoint entries,∑ a, s a * s a = 1(conjTranspose_naimark_mul_naimark,naimark_mul_conjTranspose_mul). - The dilated projections (
Halmos.proj).proj w a := Uᴴ Q_a U, withUthe Halmos unitary andQ_athe diagonal projection onto the two copies of the coordinatea, is a star projection (isStarProjection_proj), theproj w asum to one (sum_proj), the(inl a₀, inl a₀)entry ofproj (naimark s a₀) aiss aᴴ s a(proj_naimark_inl_inl'), andproj (naimark s a₀) acommutes with the constant diagonal matrix of anyccommuting with everys a(commute_diagonal_proj_naimark).
So a ↦ proj (naimark s a₀) a is a projection-valued measure that compresses, at the unit
vector e_{inl a₀}, to the positive operator valued measure a ↦ s a * s a, and it commutes
with whatever commutes with the s a. With s a = √E_a this is the commutation-preserving
Naimark dilation of planning/mipco-track.md §5, Phase 1(a), and of
reports/co-generalization-audit.md §4.
The Halmos unitary #
The Halmos extension of w: the block matrix [[w, 1 − w wᴴ], [1 − wᴴ w, wᴴ]].
Equations
- MIPRE.Halmos.extension w = Matrix.fromBlocks w (1 - w * w.conjTranspose) (1 - w.conjTranspose * w) w.conjTranspose
Instances For
The Halmos extension of a partial isometry is an isometry.
The Halmos extension of a partial isometry is a co-isometry.
The dilated projections #
The diagonal projection of R^(m ⊕ m) onto the two copies of the coordinate a.
Equations
Instances For
The dilated projection at the outcome a: Uᴴ Q_a U, for U the Halmos extension.
Equations
Instances For
The dilated projections are star projections.
The dilated projections sum to one.
The Naimark matrix #
The Naimark matrix of s at a₀: its a₀-th column is s, its other columns vanish.
Instances For
A Kraus family #
The column s need not be self-adjoint: ∑ a, s aᴴ s a = 1 is what makes the Naimark matrix a
partial isometry, and the dilation then compresses to s aᴴ s a. The self-adjoint case below is
this one with s aᴴ = s a.
wᴴ w is the matrix unit at (a₀, a₀).
The Naimark matrix of a Kraus family is a partial isometry.
The dilation compresses to s aᴴ s a at e_{inl a₀}.
wᴴ w is the matrix unit at (a₀, a₀).
The dilation commutes with whatever commutes with the s a.
